Conditions We Treat

The kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. Chronic kidney disease occurs when the kidneys lose their function, most often over time. When the kidneys aren’t working properly, dangerous amounts of fluid and waste can build up in the body, causing a range of symptoms that can include fatigue, nausea, swelling, and high blood pressure. Chronic kidney disease can eventually progress to kidney failure.

Kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), is the last stage of chronic kidney disease. Kidney failure is life threatening without dialysis or a kidney transplant.
